Appoint, evaluate the performance of and, if necessary, dismiss a librarian or, in the case of a consolidated library district, an executive director.

In the case of a county library, submit annual budgets to the board of county commissioners, containing detailed estimates of the amount of money necessary for the operation and management of the library for the next succeeding year.

Establish bylaws and regulations for the management of the library and their own management.

Do all acts necessary for the orderly and efficient management and control of the library.

The Library Director reports to the Board of Trustees and manages the day-to-day operation of the Library.
